Measuring patients' core body temperature during surgery is essential and commonly performed with an esophageal temperature probe. The probe must be placed in the lower third of the esophagus for accurate measurement. In this case report, we describe our experience of discovering an inadvertently malpositioned esophageal temperature probe in the right inferior lobar bronchus, which led to ventilation-related problems in a patient undergoing prostate surgery.

A conceptual model for advanced/metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer: a review of qualitative studies and results from patient interviews.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Patient Centered Solutions, IQVIA, Reading, UK.
Background: Despite approvals of new first-line immunotherapies for advanced/metastatic gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (aGC/GEJC), patients' median survival is around 14 months and their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is affected by disease-related symptoms and treatment-related side effects. Using a targeted literature review (TLR) and patient interviews, this study identified disease- and treatment-related concepts that are important to patients with aGC/GEJC and their HRQoL.
Methods: A TLR was conducted to identify primary qualitative studies from 2018 to 2021 on patients' experiences with aGC/GEJC.
Objective: To determine whether a transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe can accurately measure temperature and be used to monitor temperature changes over time without overheating in an experimental model of hypothermia and rewarming.
Methods: A 6L water bath was heated with a sous vide immersion circulator to 24C, 28C, 32C and 36C to simulate severe hypothermia, moderate hypothermia, mild hypothermia, and normothermia. A TEE probe, esophageal temperature probe, and bladder temperature probe were used to measure temperature.
The Acute Effect of Hot Water Immersion on Cardiac Function in Individuals with Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

Thermotherapy is expected to assist in the prevention of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in individuals with spinal cord injuries. This study aimed to investigate the impact and underlying mechanisms of whole-body heat stress on cardiac function in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) and healthy controls using head-out hot water immersion (HHWI). Eight male patients with complete motor CSCI and nine healthy controls were recruited.

Article Synopsis
- The popularity of atrial catheter ablation has surged as a leading treatment for supraventricular tachycardias, praised for its safety and effectiveness.
- Complications can occur at various stages, including vascular, thromboembolic, and mechanical issues, with atrial fibrillation ablation being notably riskier due to its complexity.
- Strategies to minimize risks involve advanced techniques like optimized anticoagulation and esophageal temperature monitoring, while emerging methods like pulsed-field ablation show promise for improved safety, pending further research.
Comparison of core temperature using tracheal thermometer and pulmonary artery catheter in adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Background: Monitoring core temperature is important for patients under anesthesia. Esophageal and pulmonary artery blood temperatures can be used for measuring core temperature during general anesthesia. However, these methods pose challenges, especially when the placement of an esophageal thermometer and pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is either impractical or not the preferred approach.
